PTR Build 10596 Achievement Changes

We here at Wowhead have been following the PTR buzz and working hard to give you guys the scoop on any new changes and additions that have been made. This latest PTR build (10596) includes changes to several achievements, including some for the Love is in the Air event. Also, in addition to exciting new 'Looking for Dungeon' achievements, several challenges for the upcoming Icecrown Citadel have been added in recent builds.

For more detailed information, check in after the break!

Love is in the Air

Here you can see the changes to the Love is in the Air achievements which partly will affect the Fool for Love meta achievement. We know this is rather old news, but since only ZAM.com has (stealthily) reported it, we thought we'd help spread the word:

Icecrown Citadel

Please note, of course, that some of these achievements are unfinished or still in testing. As such, specified time limits and other exact details are subject to change. "PH" stands for "placeholder," meaning that exact criteria have not yet been specified in-game.

Don't Look Up - Clear the hallway before Scourgelord Tyrannus in The Forge of Souls on Heroic Difficulty without anyone taking icicle damage. (Blizzard seems not to have noticed that this boss is actually located in the Pit of Saron. Oops!)

I think the last achievement was directed towards the younger population...

I don't like how the Lich King achievement says "Defeat", and not "Slay"...

They all say 'Defeat.'

Also, Yay! I won't have to stalk someone waiting for Heartbroken!

Escape from the Lich King in under 2 hours and 11 seconds...?Hopefully this is a placeholder cause a 2 hour 5 man is a REALLY long 5 man...

Not really, lots of Classic WoW dungeons would take that long sometimes... sort of.e.g. BRD, Mauradon, Wailing Caverns, Sunken Temple (before pillar activation order was well known), Stratholme (both sections), Scholomance (both sections)Infact they were the ones i enjoyed the most.

Well thats because we had to pull each pulls carefully with CC and all. Plus we didn't have dungeon maps. Yeah...

Don't be so sure. The Dragonball Z episode that spawned the meme dates back to 1989.

The "Dangerous Love" achievement has me worried. I can't get near any of those damn goblins without them beating my face. Hopefully there will be a way to get the achievement done without having to fix up your rep with the Steamwheedle Cartel.

i gues they should just add the title "<name> he who has prove he has no life" for everybody that reach the achievent

serious, world of warcraft is just a game and there are to other things in life

Title: <name>, what does the scouter say about his achievement level?

Any news on the PvP achievement changes?

The achievements to get exalted with the Warsong Gulch, Arathi Basin, and Alterac Valley factions have been removed from their respective Master of meta-achievements. Special titles will be offered to those who reach exalted with these factions.
